Let's hope he gets a move soon. No doubt it'll happen 1 minute before the deadline closes though.

If it pans out that way maybe more fans will question the way the club is being run.

I doubt there is any fans left that is happy with the folk running the club at present. Everyone knows we need new leadership it's affecting that change where the problem now lies.

Ah well, we might get more for him on there than what Killie were offering..

[LSArab]

LOL - fair point that we might get more on eBay / twitter than from killie. Hope his agent has prepared the usual montage on you tube

In all seriousness though this is an absolute travesty.

One of our best players last season. Terrible we are letting him go when he's still young for a keeper and best keeper we have had for while.

Embarrassing for the club and player the way we have treated him and showing him no respect

[JoePearson]

Sorry Joe but I don't agree with you on this. I've never heard any club list a player publicly on their club website. The twitter post was to alert people to the update on Uniteds website but that should not be on the website. It's embarrassing for the player and the club, this is our club captain FFS! If this was Dundee or the huns we would have pissed ourselves laughing and rightly so. If United wanted to clear the air on speculation then all they had to do was get Ray to go to the press and say we've had no offers and he won't be leaving for free. All transfers are done by clubs privately, I have no idea what they thought they would achieve out of this but if anything its just made us look desperate.

You say "I bet they didn't imagine the coverage it would generate", that's the phuck up. They posted on twitter "UNITED OPEN TO OFFERS FOR CAMMY BELL" what did they expect?

There are several examples of other clubs doing exactly the same. Lower league English sides. It's 2017. This is a press release or at least the equivalent of a press release through the official club website. Would you prefer it was doing through a rag like the Sun as the player and agent seem to prefer?

I'd prefer they said nothing on such a matter. Why are we releasing a statement saying we are open to offers for Cammy Bell? Let the matter be between the club, the player and the agent. Releasing a statement like that is just opening ourselves up for bad press. Cammy Bell's interview this morning (doesn't matter if true or not) has made us look bad. If united feel they need to say something on the matter then leave that to Ray. Instead by doing this we've asked for attention when all that was needed was for Ray to have said "We've brought in 2 fantastic GK's to challenge Cammy for that #1 jersey, if the right bid comes in for Cammy the club will not stand in Cammy's way if he wants to move".

Fair enough but then some of our supporters would accuse the club of not communicating with the fans. I also believe United are trying to push the matter to get a deal over the line.

My unionist leanings? You'll need to elaborate on that for me Joe...

How can everyone on social media ridiculing our club and its announcement not be classed as a f uck up? Especially now as hes said he never even knew he was on the transfer list! its a f ucking minter!

You're a big fan of the Union are you not? So are The Rangers. That is all. Personally I don't give a monkeys what the Huns or the Dees do or say. The Dees just had Wagner at a derby FFS and the Huns well where should I start? They have been a punchline for the past 5 years at least.

Cammy Bell is clearly at it here or at least his agent is.

Bell should have made his point to the arse wiping rag of not wanting/asking to leave when the speculation first started. He's doing it now to look hard done by.
Why would we sign 2 new goalkeepers if there was no indication Bell was leaving?
What is the injury situation with him? Can he even pass a medical at a potential new club?
